High Back Support Function

CompatibleModel

Separating the High back (head to middle back)and low back gives the user the ability to adjust the angle of each section as the user lifts their back.
On the 2 Motors Positioning bed, the high back and back lifting motors operate in tandem
On the 3 Motors Positioning Bed, the high back can be operated individually

Knee position adjuster to reduce slippage during reclining

CompatibleModel

If the user’s knees are not properly positioned over the bending portion of the bed, the user’s body will slide towards the foot of the bed when lifting their back.
Without having to customize the bed parts, the Ardel has two bending settings to adjust for the length of the user’s thighs, which prevents shifting and losing posture.
